The Han Dynasty's First Marquis

Looking for Rigorous, High-Quality Historical Fiction Like A Borrowed Surname in Langya

Historical and Alternate Ancient-Era Stories, No System

No System, no System, no System. Thanks, everyone.

Alternate History, Political Scheming, and Struggles for Supremacy!

Traditional historical fiction. No System, no transmigration, and no plagiarizing ancient poetry!

New Book, Let’s Review Each Other’s Work

Looking for books like Ascending Immortal Tower: Tales of Clouds and Smoke.

Historical Fiction That Feels Realistic

No System, and nothing about The Legend of Qin. Just straight historical fiction.

Looking for Historical Novels Set in Ancient Times, With a Male Protagonist. A Normal Number of Wives and Concubines Is Fine

Meticulously Researched Historical Fiction

A twisting, suspenseful plot, a protagonist who's not an idiot, and something I can learn from while reading. Ideally, it should be close to real history.

Looking for Superbly Written Historical Novels!

I've read The Chief Ministers, A Scholar of Superior Character, A First-Rank Official, A Generation's Military Advisor, The Son-in-Law, The Beauty of the Rivers and Mountains, The Unification of the Mountains and Rivers, I Picked Up Qin Shi Huang, The End of Song, New Song, and Joy of Life. Are there any similar novels with a highly intelligent protagonist who plans everything in advance?

Looking for Historical Novels About Someone Who Transmigrates, No System

No System, please. Ideally, the protagonist keeps a low profile and builds up their strength early on.

Historical Fiction That's More Realistic and Longer, Please

Any High-Quality Historical War Novels Like Shao Song?

Historical Stories (Any Dynasty, No System, and with Intelligent Characters)

Looking for books like "The Glory of the Great Wei". Historical novels with some brains behind them. Read too many mindless wish-fulfillment stories and they’ll rot your mind.

The Pinnacle of Historical Fiction

Looking for books similar to "Tang Dynasty: Defying the Imperial Decree Is the Only Way to Get Stronger". This book makes me cry every time I read it. I've read it five or six times, and I still cry. I just can't believe anything else is better. It's the strongest historical novel in my book! An 8.9 rating is way too low. I'd give it a 9.

A Book That Really Opens Your Eyes

Looking for something like "A True Record of Changing One's Fate". It's a very practical book on metaphysics, with detailed explanations. The author presents many of its concepts with such a witty style that it feels like a sudden burst of insight, clearing everything up.

Pure Ancient Military Fiction, Alternate History, No Harem, No Fantasy

Preferably something centered on schemes and strategy. The longer, the better.

Looking for Historical Fiction with Smart Characters

The protagonist and the emperor are brothers, and the protagonist wields immense power. Everyday comedy.

Political Intrigue, High Quality, Historical

Looking for books like "My Father Is Emperor Wu of Han!" Nothing rated below 9.0, please. I'm in a serious reading slump.

The Pinnacle of Historical Fiction

I'm looking for the definitive masterpiece for each historical era, the one that no other work can match. For example, the Song dynasty's greatest work is "Song of the Southern Dynasty". Are there similar books for other dynasties?

High-Quality Historical Novels

Historical Fiction: No Nonsense Allowed

It doesn’t have to be completely historically accurate, but at least don’t make it ridiculous. I want power struggles and political maneuvering that make sense. People shouldn’t just get confused all the time and believe the protagonist at first sight. The language doesn’t need to be perfectly period-appropriate, but please don’t throw in internet slang and memes at every turn.

Historical Novels Based on Official History

Historical novels based on official history, not unofficial accounts. Any dynasty is fine, but it absolutely has to be official history! Official history! Please! Historical fiction is really useful to me.

Good Historical Fiction

Looking for Smart Historical Fiction with Well-Justified Payoffs and Well-Rounded Characters

Not the Ming or Qin dynasties, please. Ideally, a dynasty that never existed in history.

Historical Fiction Without a System: Ming, Tang, Song, Qin, Three Kingdoms, Han, and More

A System is fine too, but it has to be good.
